More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have taught swim lessons with a variety of ages of children 10 months-10 years.
I have experience working with a therapy group especially with children and teens and have received great feedback from that. I am also currently an MSW intern with A House In Austin, a community building organization for families in Austin that also works towards early childhood intervention.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Walks outside, painting, crafts, going to the park, making fun snacks

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny to me is getting to have a positive impact on children's lives and getting to be someone they can relax around. Especially when I get to bake with my kids, although I am not a great baker, they get to lead and I just do the safety precautions which are the most important and fun parts for me and the kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with A House In Austin as an early childhood educator, also part of an early childhood intervention program that makes house calls. I work with children with developmental delays under age 5.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is getting to go back and see my old nanny family and how much the kids have grown up. I also love to be able to go back home (kansas) and reunite with my old nanny family.

Abbeli W. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Abbeli W.

Hi! My name is Abbeli, and I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Economics. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

I have experience caring for my younger brother throughout middle school, as well as babysitting my cousins. I’ve also helped tutor them, taught them how to write, and spent time playing games and coming up with fun activities. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids feel happy and cared for.

I’ve always gotten along well with children, and babies especially seem to love me! They often end up falling asleep on my lap, which I think is the sweetest thing. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building connections with the children I care for.

I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with families who need an extra helping hand. Feel free to message me with any questions!
